Dave was at home this morning getting ready for his Friday trip to the Cancer Center when he started having a little trouble breathing. Kathy had just left for work, and he called her back home because he felt very bad. He started to have what they both described uncontrollable 'shivers'. They were pretty scared by the ordeal and took him straight to the hospital. The emergency staff went right to work checking blood, taking x-rays, etc. So far they have found nothing that would appear to have caused this strange occurrence. He was quite sick a few days ago with nausea and vomiting, and they thought it was a tummy bug. I saw them about 3 pm today, and at that time they were still thinking some kind of infection, maybe in the port, although they couldn't really find anything. They were treating him with antibiotics, and the plan was for him to stay overnight and get all the results back before going home. Dr. Rick is on call this weekend, which makes Dave and Kathy and Phyllis very comfortable.
There was some unexpected good news from the x-rays that were taken today. He has had no significant change, one way or the other, since the onset of the Myeloma. That perked him up a bit. And he looked great when I saw him. He had gotten his appetite back and was feeling fine physically, but emotionally wondering 'what the heck was that?' We're all hoping that it's nothing more than an infection that can be healed up quickly.
Keep those happy, healthy thoughts!!

Footnote: He was wearing his 'lucky heart' PJ pants. Good sign!
